Crochet hoodie blanket – free pattern!

In response to a few emails, here is the pattern for my hoodie baby blanket – Please email me if you have any trouble with the directions – this is my first take at writing a pattern so it might be kind of sloppy =o) I even had the courage to add this to Ravelry! Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

**UPDATE** My apologies to everyone for a major oversight in the pattern. The directions on how to begin the hoodie section were missing. I have uploaded a new pdf to both the download link and to Ravelry. Please feel free to email me if the pattern is still unclear, and a special thank you to Turquoise for pointing out the problem to me!

I just want to point out one thing about the ties on the hood: Do not make them long enough to actually tie under the baby’s chin – that would be a hazard and the ties are not intended to be used in this way, they are just there as decoration, and to make the hood a little snugger when needed.

[…] Crochet hoodie blanket – free pattern! « The Blue Brick … Repeat in this manner, always ending a row by going one slip stitch further, so you can work your way down the two sides of the corner until the hood is the size you want.

This is such a beautiful blanket and so very easy once you understand how to do it. It took me a couple “redo’s” before I understood the pattern. I am making these to take to Kenya Africa on a Humanitarian trip with my husband and others in January where we will be working in Orphanages and the village hospital. These will make wonderful blankets to give to newborns. Thank you for sharing this pattern.

Hi Turquoise

To anyone making the Baby Blanket hoodie – please check back to the post for a new download link correction a major error in the pattern. My apologies for the oversight, and thank you to Turquoise for pointing out the problem to me!

First I love this blanket. Next I have started the hoodie a few times and it just doesn’t look like I am doing something right. When I am suppose to go one ss past the last crochet is that ss to go into the next SC in the last row of the blanket every time or just the turning chain of a previous row? I hope that I explained that clear enough.

I am having trouble with the blanket too. Row 3 just doesn’t seem to work out. I have already undone and tried again 6 times. I am self taught and kinda new at crochet but I have tried everything and it still doesn’t work out.

Hi everyone
I’m sorry the blanket is giving you trouble! I’ve read through row 3 and it works out for me, so I’m going to look into possibly doing a video tutorial to help folks through this stage, and also the stage where you start the hoodie which seems to be the other rough patch. Hopefully I can get to that soon!

Round 3 doesnt make sense… I’m supposed to skip all the stitches at the beginning of row then slip stich into the middle corner stitch and start from there??
Or…. dc into stitches until you get to middle corner stitch and then 5dc?? Or…..???

Reply to Lisa Lance …. You slip stitch to close and slip stitch again then again till you get to the middle make your chains and doubles there. It won’t matter if you can’t make out the hoodie part. you’ll wind up with just a blanket. I already knew how to make the blanket it’s the hoodie I was interested in. Good luck! She was going to “possibly look into doing a video tutorial soon” for the troubled parts of her pattern , only it seems she never got around to it or totally forgot about us.

I did not make this with the hood. I used the pattern to make 4 squares that I seamed together for a beautiful baby blanket. According to my friend who received it all of her friends want one too. Thanks for the wonderful no hole pattern.

[…] Anyway, one of my first big projects was a baby swaddler blanket with a hood. I decided to try to make the blanket for a friend who was having a baby boy. (And then I made one for a friend who was having a baby girl). This was one of the very first projects with intense/new stitching. Though I found it on Pintrest, you can find the pattern here. […]

Hello,
First, beautiful hoodie blanket, thank you for all your hard work and sharing it with us. I also am asking about the video tutorial. I started this blanket almost a month ago for my niece who is due in a few weeks but I just can’t get the hoodie started right. I follow your pattern to the the letter and I wind up with a tiny little cup at the top of the blanket and not in the center either. Unless it’s voldemort reborn I think I’m getting it wrong, lol . The video would be really, really helpful. Thank you in advance.

Hey ladies!
I think the pattern is on Ravelry, but I actually stopped posting it because I haven’t crocheted in a very long time, and to tell the truth it was hard to provide tech support for it. I’ll see if I can dig it up though, and I’ll post the link here🙂

Hello again,
Would you please consider taking a little bit of your time to help out those that couldn’t figure out the part of the hoodie? I’m one of those that can’t start another project until the one I’m working on is finished completely😦 . My niece had her baby but I still have the blanket and more babies being born. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for responding quickly🙂. Sorry to hear about your possible postal strike, that definitely is not good for your business. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t happen🙂. The video would be very much appreciated.
